From: Johan Hovold johan@kernel.org Date: Mon, 1 Mar 2021 10:05:19 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] gpio: fix gpio-device list corruption
Make sure to hold the gpio_lock when removing the gpio device from the gpio_devices list (when dropping the last reference) to avoid corrupting the list when there are concurrent accesses.
